So...much...work...

My GAWD! I swear Jason and I have been going non-stop the past two days!! Yesterday we went to the gym, shipped my E-Bay items, drove and hour down to Jacksonville, went to Michael’s, had dinner and finally drove home. We got in around 8:30. This morning, my friend Holly left for Texas (her and her husband were assigned to a new duty station; there were tears), Jason and I completed the remaining 50 of our 90 handmade programs. Not only that, we printed and decorated our rehearsal dinner invites (also sealed and addressed them), decorated our cake table letters, and started pulling out stuff for my trip to California.

I have so much stuff. I actually have to SHIP some of it ahead of me! How diva am I? Ugh. It’s now midnight and we’ve just finished laying everything out. And I mean eeeeeverything. The clothes I’m shipping, the shoes I’m shipping, the clothes I’m taking, the shoes I’m taking, the carry-on-luggage-that-I-have-to-check-because-it-has-“liquids”-luggage, the stuff I’m taking for the wedding, the stuff Jason’s taking for the wedding, the stuff we’re shipping for the wedding. How do destination brides do it?! The only way I’m getting through this is I have a flexible freelance writing job that nets me time off, I have an amazing husband, and I have my mother on the other end to receive all my crap!

Wow this is going to be a busy month.

On a lighter note, we’re fortunate enough to have some amazing friends who are letting us have our wedding gifts delivered to them while we’re gone.

That’s another thing I’m bummed about. Jason’s not joining me until closer to July. :0( I just spent 7 months away from him. 3 weeks is going to be hell. But at least we have a kick ass honeymoon to look forward too. Oh, and yeah, an amazing wedding.   

Below: Me and Holly today. Those sunglasses are hiding the tears streaming out of my eyes. It's so strange how you can have so much happiness and so much sadness in your life all at the same time.
